I obviously don't have the authority to make the decision, but if there's enough interest in an RPG section I'd be happy to add one with the blessing of the admins.

So shall we have a vote on the matter? Like a poll?

You sure are fast. A poll sounds like a pretty good idea, I guess you could set it up here, I can't think of any other place on the forum it'd go better.

An RP section? Would it be just some random thing, or based on a game/book/television program? I participate in a Star Trek RP from time to time.

Usually we do it with our own characters, since it's good for creativity...

Example, Shrukan's Biography:

Quote:

Biography:

He was born in a home in the southern edge of Ilidar, his mountain homeland. His father detested him and wanted to kill him at birth for being weak, so his mother took him and fled with him. Later on, nearly a few weeks later, his mother Misura met a young twenty year old Scalix named Argath Caelestis. Misura was only eighteen then, and she fell in love with Argath because of his kindness to her, taking care of her and Shrukan when she was hiding and even took the liberty of staying up all night and day to keep an eye on them. She married Argath a few weeks after meeting him, and took the last name of Caelestis.

Shrukan grew up to not know his father. He thought Argath was his birth father and grew very close to both his parents. As such he was rather timid of others, hiding behind the backs of both his mother and stepfather. By eight, his heart was completely shattered as his mother died in the kitchen by a heart attack. Since then, his personality took a complete turn around; he was no longer happy, but depressed every night and day.

By fifteen, he experienced more and more premonitions in his sleep, like a war between angels and demons, as well as the death of his stepfather and stepmother. He fled away from home after he and his stepmother, Nava Caelestis, had gave him the cold shoulder when he attempted to applogize for pushing her away the day previous. He found a temple in the middle of a dense forest in Ilidar and began to exploring in it. He accidently places his hand on a symbol in the temple, as new found energy swept through himself and caused himself to black out. Argath had found him later and brought him back home, slightly worried that Shrukan's premonitions were coming true again, just like how Shrukan foresaw his mother's death.

Days after the incident, the Plague, a vile Scalix who has been hunting for the Balance God, came and kidnapped Argath and Nava. Shrukan snarled in anger and tried to fight the Plague, but was simply too weak for the Plague currently. Before Shrukan got stabbed, Argath broke free of his prison and pushed Shrukan out of the way, only to be stabbed in his lower abdomen. His last wishes for Shrukan was to grow strong, even though Argath wasn't going to be there. Nava was killed after, and Shrukan had hid in the deepest areas of the capital Gaydr.

Days after, Shadow Beasts attacked Gaydr. Shrukan swore angrily and ran outside, flying up into the air. He fought only one beast, but he was so close to being killed. If it wasn't for his friend Tamior, he would have killed. Shrukan took the moment that Tamior had opened, and activated for the first time his fire powers. He punched the beast in the head, eyes blazing with revenge, and killed it on the spot. The battle took too much energy and he passed out.

The next few days after, There was a funeral for the Scalix who died when the Plague came. Argath, Nava, and twenty or so other males had died that day. Shrukan attended the funeral, and stood by the open caskets of his stepparents. He asked Tamior for more time with them, but snarled as Tamior told him that there was no more time. Walking away in disgust, he saw a familiar face behind a tree. It was Israf, a friend of Argath's and Tamior, who witnessed Shrukan's powers, and had been questioning him for the past few days. However, these were not friendly questions, and often him and Shrukan got into fist fights, since Shrukan had no recollection of how his powers worked. Eventually Shrukan awakened too much of his powers that fed on his anger that he killed Israf in a blind fury. Tamior snarled in distaste at Shrukan, and all the Scalixs turned their backs on Shrukan. He was later banished from Ilidar.

Shrukan left Ilidar and seeked shelter where the humans lived, however, he was also unwelcomed by the humans. He sighed as he began to feel his depression come back. Since being banished, his heart had become encased in thick ice.

Now he plans to kill the Plague in order to win back the trust of his own race.

It's something I made up still following the "some guy murders family, gets revenge" thing with it's own plots and such.

I'll make a poll in a moment in a new thread.

Edit: Dang. Don't have poll permissions.

Well, I actually meant using our own characters, but put in the setting of a book or show. Like the ST I participate in: we use our own characters, but the settings are based on the time following ST: Voyager. I was just wondering if we were creating a wholly original adventure or building our own out of a pre-existing franchise

I guess if you want to. It depends on how you like to RPG. Thanks to whoever added the poll.

I can't answer the poll. There is no option that says: "I like rpgs, but don't want a new forum for them"

Either my sarcasm meter is not working today or you're just being picky with words. You sound very "solid" in your response...

It's either yes or no. It's not asking what your opinion of RPGs altogether are, it's asking if you want a forum for role-playing. Your answer would be no.

This isn't a census, if you don't want to take part in such activity and have no real passion about the subject, just don't answer, go read some other part of the site.
